So, its fly out eve, the excitement is building, you are making the final preparations for your holidays and then BAM!!!!!! whilst spending some last minute quality time with your dad and his channel surfing, there is a "Breaking News Update" and some little so and so from Qantas (we can refer to them at Kuntaz and thats alright because its with a K and a Z) has decided to ground ALL planes affective Immediately. What ensues is probably one of the most stressful days I have had in my adult existence.
So Kuntaz here is a song for you.... Yep thats right, I dont love you anymore
I will admit that I havent really been keeping up to date with whats been going on with the industrial disputes between the airlines and the unions and even after researching (and by research I mean watching the news and listening to my dad yelling at the TV because some ex politician doesnt know shit) I am still really none the wiser as to whats going on. But hey guys lets play like adults and get this shit sorted out. People have lives and commitments and you are kinda fucking with that yeah. I guess I can be thankful that this happened today and not tomorrow because atleast I can be stranded in my own country... my heart goes out to anyone that was mid transit when this happened. That would be balls fo' sho.
Never fear kids, this adventure lives to tell another tail. So what was the solution to our problem? after myself and James sitting on hold for an absurdly large amount of time and both being hung up on without actually being spoken to (good work on your customer service Fuck stains) and Kev frantically searching our Insurance, looking for new flights and trying to call Webjet to see if we could get our tickets transferred, we came to the decision that Kuntaz could get fucked and we would just buy new tickets. We didnt have time to waste on them trying to get their act together, and if we sat on our laurels we would potentially miss out. So $1400 out of pocket later, we are now Booked with Singapore Airlines leaving at 4pm. Thankyou Kev for all your hard work sourcing the new tickets. I specifically picked Kuntaz because its a trusted Australian brand... well as I am sure you can tell, they have lost a fan here.
And before anyone wants to jump in and go "Herpdidederpity you will get your money back" Yes I am fully aware of this but its not as easy as going, hey Kuntaz, you fucked me around, give me money. When you have budgeted a $1400 ticket, is an expense you really don't see coming. I am lucky enough that my dad is amazing and will cover my ticket until I get my money back from the airline, otherwise this blog post would have been no where near as friendly. I am blessed to have an amazingly supportive dad (or he just wants me to stop whinging at him.... maybe this is the real truth but hey I am going with supportive) Thanks Johnny
This has really taken the wind out of my sails, I am exhausted and the excitement has dissipated (thus my jokes aren't as free flowing as normal, to my loyal followers I am indeed sorry, I shall be back on form before you know it. Promise Promise). I have finished packing, organised Dim Sum Breakfast, Changed my sheets (I may hear your ask why, thats called forward planning Bitches!!!! what do you want to do when you get home after a long haul over night flights (well yes, you want to do THAT, but THAT is so much better on fresh sheets, Trust me ;) *cough*) and filled my carry on with Candy, so I am set. I am SURE the excitement will hit me when I get to the Airport. If not, someone have a can of red creaming soda on hand STAT!!!!
Alright kids, shake it out, here is a video to make it all better. How can you not be happy when a donkey is trying to get intimate with a guy who was having a shit in a field
Love and Kuntaz Fucking
Miss K
